Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of cell adhesion molecules in the formation of coronary artery aneurysms during acute Kawasaki disease.
- It found that certain adhesion molecules like P-selectin and integrin beta1 were widely expressed in the affected arteries of Kawasaki disease patients, while E-selectin and VCAM-1 were less present than expected.
- The results imply that the inflammatory response in Kawasaki disease may be more localized, potentially influenced by specific pathogens, rather than a generalized inflammatory reaction across all coronary arteries.
